The topic of homosexual marriage rights is getting extremely hot in this forum.
I myself am responsible for fanning many of the flames and at times may have come close to if not crossed the line.
There are implications of bigotry and intolerance abounding around here and I just wanted to take a poll based on a statement Mr. Emu posted that at first went entirely unnoticed by me.
Here`s my point.
Considering this topic is becoming so divisive that I believe many of us are letting our emotions get in the way of understanding the other persons statements I would like to take a moment to clear the air.
I don`t care that most Christians in this forum believe a physical homosexual relationship is a sin.
They have that right and I will not argue it.
To paraphrase Mr.Emus statement above what I want to know is whether or not you agree with a persons choice about homosexuality would you truly allow them to make that choice for themselves?
If a referendum were to be polled today and you had a ballot in your hand would you vote for or against homosexual marraige rights regardless of your religious beliefs in order to allow these people the right to make that choice for themselves?
I`m really only looking for Christian votes in the poll but anyone can comment here on the results.
this is an anonymous poll with a 7 day time limit.

...while I believe that homosexuality is a sin, it is up to a person to make that choice and it is a person's life to live.
